Quick TakeForget subtle watches; this Chronoswiss Open Gear Flying Tourbillon is a mechanical fireworks display strapped to your wrist! Limited to just fifteen pieces, it’s less a watch and more a membership card to an exclusive club of horological adventurers. The 44mm steel case is substantial, a proper housing for the theatre within. Look past the thermally blued Trigono hands and Super-LumiNova markers – your eyes are drawn to the main event. At twelve, the off-center hours sit within a funnel structure, leaving space for the real stars: the exposed gear train and, dominating the six o'clock position, the hypnotic dance of the flying tourbillon. It's semi-skeletonized C.303 caliber, manually wound of course, is decked out with blue CVD coatings and Côtes de Genève. They even hand-guilloched and engraved the middle dial level! This isn't just telling time; it's a conversation starter, a wrist-mounted piece of kinetic sculpture blending traditional craft with bold, modern design, all water-resistant to 100 meters should your adventures get damp. It's unapologetically technical and utterly captivating.

Its finish incorporates both polished and vertically satin-finished surfaces, complemented by an onion-style crown. Securing the exhibition case back is a screw-down design featuring a satin finish and a sapphire crystal, allowing visual access to the movement.

This case construction ensures water resistance up to 10 bar, equivalent to 100 meters. The lug width for strap attachment is specified at 22 mm. The timepiece is strictly limited to 15 units worldwide, emphasizing its exclusivity.

Powering this instrument is the Chronoswiss manufacture caliber C.303, a hand-wound movement integrating a flying tourbillon. It operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, or 28,800 vibrations per hour (A/h), and offers an approximate power reserve of 60 hours when fully wound.

The main plate exhibits Côtes de Genève decoration, while the bridges are skeletonized and finished with a circular satin pattern. Further details include a galvanic anthracite balance wheel, a skeletonized spring barrel, and polished screws, contributing to the intricate visual presentation visible through both the dial aperture and the case back. The technically sophisticated design showcases both the flying tourbillon complication and the signature Chronoswiss "open gear" mechanism, highlighting the intricate workings typically concealed.
